Hi, Finally got rid of my 00 si and purchased 06 z in silverstone base model. Really happy with the car but got a speeding ticket on bay bridge on my second day driving

 

Congrat on ur 06...

speeding tickets so fast???

 

Ah yes, its not unusual.... first few days with a new car, "testing it" ect....
Sounds like my first day with my G!!! Got caught doing 188kmh in a 70kmzone.... that wasnt fun at all!! (And stupid on my part!)

 

Also unfortunately the Z still stands out and you will get spotted quicker, also if it between the Volvo next to the Z and the Z guess who the cop will pick.

Just keep an eye out and start using a lawyer if that is easy where you are at.

 

I used to have a 2K Si. It was a fun car. Have fun with the Z!

 

I can def agree with the testing thing i had to break 100 just to see what it was like in the Z vs my past cars and OMG was i surprised.... it didnt even feel like 100... so SMOOTH

 

So much for the break-in!

you beat me man. it took me two weeks to get a speeding ticket after getting the Z.

 

 

oh yea~.. i didn't even know i was speeding until I saw cop flashing behind me.

 

make this matter worst is that I got ticketed on double fine zone since it was on the bridge. I dunno how much this is gonna cost me.

 

How fast did you go? I do not think you can go very fast on bay bridge. Traffic is always heavy.

 

haha i was lucky and got pulled over just barely before a construction zone. that would have been a $550 ticket!

 

Sorry to hear about your ticket...
The second day I had my '06 350Z I got pulled over because my tag hadn't transfered yet... The cop ran my tag cause of the car and the fact that I had limo tint so he couldn't see who was driving...
It's all good... he let me go with a warning re: registration and tint... also told me to keep it easy on the streets... so dang hard though cause theres so much there to play with...

I get off work from SF around 8pm so not much traffic on weeknight. Maximum speed limit is 50 but cop said i was crusing around 75 or so. I thought I was going at a safe speed. Every one around me was driving at that speed.

 

True that. I'm still breaking in. I take this ticket as a warning and take it slow at night time.
